gurgling

/ˈɡɝɡəɫɪŋ/, /ˈɡɝɡɫɪŋ/ verb

present participle and gerund of gurgle

Word Origin From Latin 'gurges' 'whirlpool, throat' — the idea of water swirling and making a bubbling sound. Gurgling is that throaty, liquid sound. The same root gives us 'regurgitate' (to pour back out), 'engorge' (to fill the throat), and 'gorgeous' (originally 'elegant, showy' from the throat adornment).
